Yes. Joey did a heck of a job getting those bigger bites ! It was definitely a fun day ! And yes. MLF does a fantastic job on taking care of the bass. All released healthy and ready for another day. I will be releasing more tournament videos soon so make sure and subscribe and smash that notification bell to be notified when they are released. Thanks for watching! ❤
March 19th this year ! Coldest day of the year that morning for Central Florida. A major cold front had come through the night before. Our faces were frozen after blast off !! LOL We warmed up though when the tanks starting getting snatched out from under those docks. He could skip a Jack Hammer like a champ ! Impressed this ole veteran bass fisherman for sure. Good Times. Thanks for watching.
No problem ! Thanks for checking in and checking it out. This was the first video I have ever uploaded as a Premiere so had no clue what I was doing. LOL Thanks again.
Thanks for hanging out in the chat ! First Premier I've done. LOL But it was definitely a exciting day on the Harris Chain of Lakes. Thanks again for watching.
For sure my man. Thanks for watching. He wore me out jumping up and down netting all those monsters ! I sure didn't want to miss any. A few of them fell out in the net. But I was 100% on the netting game and Joey was 100% on the catching game !
Great video. I fished both days of those events. Was lucky enough to finish 2nd as a co-anlger on Saturday. We spend the winters close by Harris. I see there are 2 BFL's and a Toyota there next year. I am hoping to get in all of them. Keep them video's coming. Steve Smith Commerce, Michigan.
That is awesome! I love fishing the Harris Chain. I will be there next season so maybe we might see each other. Small world. LOL and thanks for watching. I'm beginning to learn that place but any hints you want to throw my way would be greatly appreciated !!! 😉😆 You must definitely have something figured out to get second place for sure ! That is a awesome job. Thanks for watching.
We spend the winter at The Villages about 6 miles from Venitian Gardens. I get to fish Harris quite a bit. Fishing the BFL's as a Co Angler is always an adventure. I have got it down to 5 rods. Chatterbait, Rattle Trap, Swimming Worm, Jerkbait and Flipping Stick. Will look you up this winter. @@SouthGeorgiaBassin
Yeah it was. I got a workout in jumping up and down netting those tanks !! Learned a lot and had super fun doing it. Thanks for watching. More tournament video's coming soon.
Yes it was ! The day started out slow but then Joey found them and it was on. He put my netting skills to the test ! LOL But I netted every last one like a champ !!! 😎 And I managed to catch a few myself. Fun day indeed ! Thanks for watching.
You are a 💯% right about that ! LOL. I just knew a another big one was coming. Joey was on a roll ! I was taking a snack break and decided just to be ready. 💪🎣Thanks for watching 🙏🏼❤️
Yes it was ! A day I know neither one of us will forget ! And thank you so much for the help on the video ! Awesome job ! Thanks for watching and see you soon ! 😎
Yeah me too. He had a awesome day. It was fun to be apart of that awesome experience. Thanks for watching and stay tuned. More tournament videos coming soon.
You should! Its my way of winding down from work ! And yes Joey found them and begin to cull pound after pound ! I was happy to be a part of it as the "Net Man" LOL Thanks for watching.
Let me know when you want to hit Lanier Oconee or Sinclair. I work on Lanier and then film for Scott Martin on the elites series who Joey captains Hilary on the Harris Chain a few times.
Sounds awesome ! Haven't fished those yet. Yeah Joey and I were talking about some of the trips they fished together. Awesome times for sure. Thanks for watching and stay tuned because Joey and I are going to get together again soon.
Yes he is for sure. We have fished together several times now. Tournaments and fun fishing. He amazes me on his abilities. Works very hard at it too. This old man has learned a lot from him. Thanks for watching 👍
Man, as I watched this video I was laughing and jumping too. What a bag he put in and the best of all it was the fun you two had while fishing in a tournament. Thats what's all about!!!
Yes most definitely a day I will never forget and Joey too. We had a blast. The morning started off slow so we just decided to go try some spots he hasn't fished in a while and then well you saw, it was on ! We have since stayed in touch and even fished together some more for practice and fun. It's what I love about this sport of bass fishing. It's amazing the number of great people in my life I would have never met if it wasn't for fishing. Thanks for watching.
Oh brother believe me I took it this day ! LOL 😆 I netted everyone of them. Two of the 5 Pounders came off in the net !!!! 😏 Scary moment but didn't loose any fish this day thank goodness. I netted way more pounds than I caught that's for sure. I was fishing behind a vacuum cleaner but had a blast !!! As you could tell from our reactions !!! LOL Thanks for watching and see you soon on Orange !!👌
This was a tournament this past March 2023. My favorite chatterbait set up is a Lews Pro TLPT1SH Reel 7.5:1 on a 6th Sense Heater Rod 7'2" Medium Moderate Fast with Seaguar InvizX 12lb Fluorocarbon Line ! It's a light weight set up that can be comfortably fished with in a 8 hour tournament. I love the setup. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
March 2023. It was the coldest day of the year it seemed like. A record low for that time of the year on the Chain. I big cold front came in the night before. It was a rough blast off for sure 🥶. But turned out to be a great day. Came out of the bibs around none. Then it was on. Fun day for sure. Thanks for watching. You fish the Chain ?
Good question as I did not take the time to discuss it in the video so I'm glad you asked. I'm sure there are other people wondering the same thing. I'm probably going to dedicate a video just for that this fall when the new schedule and fees come out. In 2023 I registered with a MLF Membership which was $95.00 Annually. That gets you in on the level to fish tournaments. Its called "Tournament Angler Eligibility". Then you pick the Region you want to fish in and check the schedule to make sure you can make it to them on your timeline. I went with the Gator division which is the Central Florida area which is closet to me. I live right on the GA/FL line. This Year it was $113.30 per tournament as a Co-angler. Which to me is nothing. I blow that in small local derby's to fish drain ponds ! LOL Then the end of season Super Tournament (2Day) was $169.96. If you end up in 45th or less for the season then you qualify to fish in the Regional for a Phoenix Bass Boat !!! Hope this helped. If you never tried it I highly recommend it. Oh, and yes its usually customary to tip your boater some gas money. It ranges from $40 to $60. At least that's the average I've seen or talked about with other Co-Anglers. I try to judge it by how far of runs we had to make to catch fish. But there is not set amount. I've personally had boaters turn it down when I offered. Hope this answered all your questions and concerns and remember to Subscribe to my channel and hit the notification bell so you will catch the video when it comes out on this exact subject. Thanks again for watching.
Yup you are correct. Officially it was a second place finish by only 2 ounce. 28.4 was 1st and Second was 28.2. When I was referring to a 1st Place finish I was mainly talking about his attitude about coming in second when pretty much our run in to weigh in we were thinking he may win this thing. He took the second place let down like a champ if you ask me. He congratulated the winner with upmost respect and if you remember in my video he even said " If someone beats this they deserve the win" This old man had a blast with him that day. He kept me on my toes with that net !!! LOL. We have since fished together some more for fun and practice. You will be seeing a lot more of this man in 2024. He has a big announcement coming soon. So happy for him. Thanks again for watching.
Yeah for sure ! My wife says I take forever to get to the point ! 😆😁 But i felt like it needed setting up as far as our mind set before the action started. It was really all raw emotions for sure.
Nice catch 1st of all
Did the fish survive all the pictures
Yes. Joey did a heck of a job getting those bigger bites ! It was definitely a fun day ! And yes. MLF does a fantastic job on taking care of the bass. All released healthy and ready for another day.

When was this and what gear ratio do you use ? On your chatterbait

What does it cost to enter and is it customary to give the boater cash ?

you are right, too much talking in the intro!!!!!

I know someone that does.
Yeah. Me too 😂 Been some big bags coming from that area of Central Florida. Maybe one day I’ll get on one. 🤪 Thanks for watching. 🙏🏼❤️
